Does Anybody Care?

Does Anybody Care?
By Alim Kamara

They’re blind to the beauty you possess. Sijo will show you like a torch shining in the darkness.

Some act heartless, masking their own anguish. Exhibiting their envy through force and taking liberty.

You were placed here to be. So be all you can-be. Smiles filled with soul and essence await you presence.

Beautiful spring still pours from my direction; for you, I’ve ran a marathon of lessons. Some harsh, still I see them as blessings.

Fear not the night, the day will be chasing. Time is merely a truth that I call unravelling.

Are we going to make it? For sure, keep believing.

The sky is not the limit and each breathe carries meaning.

Hold this piece of art like a treasure found or a missing piece of art that’ll keep you from harm.

Chorus

For those without a voice, I can hear your cry.
Through the storm and the fog, we will survive.
Does anybody care? Yeah! I do
I hope these words meet you in time..time…

Together we can shatter the silence. Seeing the light this morning I choose to influence the present. Children close to and afar from my residence.

In places where crime rates are sky-high, perceptions are tainted, I only see greatness.

Waiting to awaken my passion speaks evidence, in action I take pride, just ask my students.

So wipe away tears, tomorrow needs warriors and Sijo chooses you as the heir to continue.

We all have it in us, some just need guidance a little bit of strength to say “stop the violence.”

Be it physical, verbal, yes words can cut too; have been known to ruin lives, we’ve got work to do.

They say you should never settle for crumbs and that the rise of self-esteem begins in the belief of one.

Chorus
For those without a voice, I can hear your cry.
Through the storm and the fog, we will survive.
Does anybody care? Yeah! I do
I hope these words meet you in time..time…

I give out more questions than answers

Because I’m still learning puzzling the pieces for the life that I’m living

Each day I understand a bit better

When its cold outside you have to wear a sweater but this is deeper than just bad weather

We are the future its now becoming clearer Knowledge is power that keeps us warmer listen,

we are all gods children I give thanks ever night before I go bed

And pray for the challenges that lay ahead.

At this stage I’m a camcorder, which makes you

The example setter if you do evil how do I see good Guide us so that we can be a plus,

be positive and add to the beauty not negative like the sign of a minus.

Chorus
For those without a voice, I can hear your cry.
Through the storm and the fog, we will survive.
Does anybody care? Yeah! I do
I hope these words meet you in time..time…
